• Translation of the IMAGE NOT-MADE-WITH-HANDS OF OUR LORD AND GOD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST from Edessa to Constantinople (Holy Mandelion) (944)
主伊伊穌。斯耶穌合[利爾]斯托。斯基督的圖簽，“沒用手做” • The Third "FEAST OF THE SAVIOR" in August
Μνήμη εἰσόδου τῆς ἀχειροτεύκτου μορφῆς τοῦ Κυρίου καὶ Θεοῦ καὶ Σωτῆρος ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ
On the sixteenth of this month [August], we commemorate the entrance of the acheiropoiton (made without hands) image of our Lord and God and Savior Jesus Christ, brought from the city of Edessa to the God-protected Queen of cities (Constantinople). The Feast of the Transfer of the Icon Not-Made-by-Hands, made together with the Afterfeast of the Dormition, they call the third-above Savior Icon, the “Savior on Linen Cloth.” The particular reverence of this Feast in the Russian Orthodox Church is also expressed in iconography, and the Icon Not-Made-by-Hands was one of the most widely distributed.
According to the Prologue, there are four known Icons of the Savior Not-Made-by-Hands:
- at Edessa, of King Abgar (August 16)
- the Kamulian, — Saint Gregory of Nyssa (January 10) wrote of its discovery, while according to Saint Nicodemus of the Holy Mountain (July 14), the Kamulian icon appeared in the year 392, but it had in appearance an icon of the Mother of God (August 9)
- in the time of Emperor Tiberius (578-582), Saint Mary Syncletike (August 11) received healing from this on ceramic tiles (16 August)
This third Feast of the Saviour in August is in honour of the Holy Face of our Lord imprinted on a cloth. The tradition behind it is that King Abgar of Edessa, who lived in the time of our Lord’s sojourn on earth, was becoming progressively blind when he heard about the great miracle-worker of Israel. He wrote a letter to our Lord inviting Him to come to live with him in Edessa. Our Lord wrote back to Abgar thanking him but declining his offer. Our Lord told the king that He would send him one of his disciples to cure him of his malady. After our Lord’s Ascension into Heaven, St Thaddeus went to Edessa with the cloth on which was the Image of our Lord’s Face (by tradition made when Christ washed His Face and then wiped it with that cloth, miraculously transferring His Image onto it). When the cloth touched King (Saint) Abgar’s eyes, he received his full sight back and enshrined the cloth above the main gate of his city.
在吾主宣講了好消息並且愈合的時間人的每病和體弱, 在幼發拉底河王子 Abgar 的岸上生活在了 Edessa 的城市在那裡完全與敗壞被感染。他聽說了合[利爾]斯托。斯基督, 每疼痛和疾病的醫生並且送了一個藝術家, 亞拿尼亞, 到與他在其懇求了主來到 Edessa 並且敗壞治好他的合[利爾]斯托。斯基督的一封信的巴勒斯坦。結果主是不能的來, 王子命令了亞拿尼亞描繪他的相似並且把它帶到他, 相信這相似將能恢複他的健康。被回答了他是不能的來的主, 因為他的熱情的時間正在來臨拿了一條毛巾, 擦了他的臉並且, 在毛巾上，他的都純的臉完美地被畫。主與王子將被它愈合的消息把這條毛巾給了亞拿尼亞, 然而並非全部，並且晚些時候, 他將送他一個使者將擦掉他的疾病的剩余物。收到毛巾, 它和敗壞完全從他的它的正文但是一些掉落了的吻的王子 Abgar 在他的臉上留下了。后來, 宗徒 Thaddaeus ，宣講主條, 來到了 Abgar 並且秘密地愈合了並且給某人施洗禮他。然後破壞了在城市並且在門上面的門前站了的聖像他放了的王子與合[利爾]斯托。斯基督的相似的毛巾納入了木頭, 在一個金框架裝裱了並且用珍珠佩戴了。另外, 王子在門上在圖簽下方寫了︰“ O 合[利爾]斯托。斯基督上帝, 沒有人將是慚愧的在你希望。”后來, Abgar 的大孫子之一恢複了 Edessa 的聖像崇拜和主教在門上在那根圖簽上面獲得了晚上和 walled 。世紀從那以後過去了。在皇帝東[羅爾]瑪帝國皇帝的朝代期間，波斯的國王 Chozroes 攻擊了 Edessa 並且城市在大艱難。碰巧 Eulabius , Edessa 的主教, 有了都神聖的 Theotokos 的視覺揭示了封上的牆和忘記的圖簽的謎到他。圖簽被發現並且, 由它的電源，波斯的軍隊被打敗。
• Icon of the Mother of God of St THEODORE (1239) 圣德奥多若圣母像
On August 16 is commemorated the miraculous finding of the Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos of St Theodore. According to Tradition, the Theodore Icon of the Mother of God was written by the Evangelist Luke, and resembles the famous Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God.
This icon received its name from St Alexander Nevsky's father, Great Prince Yaroslav Vsevolodovich, who in holy Baptism was named Theodore in honor of St Theodore Stratelates. According to Tradition, his elder brother, St George, had found the icon in an old wooden chapel near the city of Gorodets. Later, the Gorodets Monastery of St Theodore was built on this spot. When the citizens of Gorodets fled the city at the approach of the Khan they did not have time to take the Icon with them. In 1239, the residents of Kostroma saw the Icon being carried through their city by a radiant figure who resembled St Theodore Stratelates. The next day the Icon was found in a tree by Prince Basil of Kostroma, St Alexander Nevsky's younger brother, while he was hunting in the forest. The Icon was placed in the church of St Theodore Stratelates, and many miracles took place before it. Prince Yaroslav-Theodore became the Great Prince of Vladimir after his brother, St George, died in battle against the Mongols at the Sita River. He gave the icon which he inherited from his brother to his own son, St. Alexander Nevsky. The wonderworking Theodore Icon of the Mother of God was constantly with St Alexander Nevsky, and he often prayed before it. After St Alexander Nevsky died on November 14, 1263 at the monastery founded by his father, the icon was taken by his younger brother, Basil.
Numerous copies of the Kostroma Theodore Icon were made, and one of the first was commissioned and brought to Moscow by Tsar Michael's mother, the nun Martha. From the second half of the seventeenth century, various copies of the Theodore Icon were enlarged with scenes depicting events from the history of the wonderworking icon.
The Theodore Icon is two-sided. On the reverse side is the image of the holy Great Martyr Paraskeva, depicted in the splendid attire of a princess. It is believed that the image of St Paraskeva on the reverse of the icon is connected with the wife of St Alexander Nevsky.
The first Romanov tsar, Michael, was acclaimed as sovereign before the Theodore Icon in 1613.
The Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos of St Theodore is also commemorated on March 14.

• STEPHEN King of Hungary (935-1038)
My beloved son, delight of my heart, hope of your posterity, I pray, I command, that at every time and in everything, strengthened by your devotion to me, you may show favor not only to relations and kin, or to the most eminent, be they leaders or rich men or neighbors or fellow-countrymen, but also to foreigners and to all who come to you. By fulfilling your duty in this way you will reach the highest state of happiness. Be merciful to all who are suffering violence, keeping always in your heart the example of the Lord who said, "I desire mercy and not sacrifice." Be patient with everyone, not only with the powerful, but also with the weak. Finally be strong lest prosperity lift you up to much or adversity cast you down. Be humble in this life, that God may raise you up in the next. Be truly moderate and do not punish or condemn anyone immoderately. Be gentle so that you may never oppose justice. Be honorable so that you may never voluntarily bring disgrace upon anyone. Be chaste so that ;you may avoid all the foulness of lust like the pangs of death. All these virtues I have noted above make up the royal crown, and without them no one is fit to rule here on earth or attain to the heavenly kingdom. - from Saint Stephen's advice to his son.

On this day (August 16) we commemorate our compassionate assailing in the days of old, of the fearsome threat of an earthquake, from which the All-Compassionate God, in whom is all our hope, redeemed us.
On August 16, 542 an earthquake caused considerable damage in Constantinople: churches and houses collapsed and the wall was damaged, particularly in the area around the Golden Gate. The spear fell from the statue of Constantine, and apparently the hand of the statue of Xerolophus fell off too. Many people were killed and there was a state of general panic. The sole primary source for this earthquake is Theophanes (222), who wrote: 6034. And on the 16th of August in the same indiction, the 5th, there was a great earthquake in Constantinople, and churches and houses and the wall fell, especially the part of the wall around the Golden Gate. And also the spare which the statue in the Forum of Constantine holds, fell down, and the right hand of the statue of Xerolophus. And many people died and there was great fear.
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
O God, be merciful to me, a sinner.
愿上帝怜恤我罪人
O Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God,
for the sake of the prayers
of Thy most pure Mother,
our holy and God-bearing fathers and all the saints, have mercy on us.
Amen.
